It appears Tottenham Hotspur are willing to let Danny Rose leave this month. According to the Mirror the Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has decided that Rose should be allowed to leave the club this month, with PSG and Schalke reportedly keen.

Whilst the latter are no longer keen, according to Sky Sports, it still appears that the England left-back could be moved on in the next couple of weeks.

None of this would even be a possibility, had Tottenham not been so impressed with the performances of a youngster in the summer.

Kyle Walker-Peters has been billed as a right-back throughout his young career. However, the England youth star is much more than that. He won the Under-20 World Cup as a left-back and played in the same role with aplomb for much of Tottenham’s pre-season campaign.

There is no doubt that the 21-year-old looks a star in the making. But it is the ability he has shown at left-back which surely highlights a key reason in any decision to allow Rose’s exit.

Ben Davies is the first-choice at Spurs, and whilst Jan Vertonghen’s presence also makes a decision to sell easier, undoubtedly the youngster can be the only reason why Tottenham feel Rose is now expendable.
